Thank you for choosing a Kia vehicle.
When you require service, remember that your authorized Kia
dealer knows your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained
technicians, recommended special tools, genuine Kia replacement
parts, and is dedicated to your complete satisfaction.
Because subsequent owners require this important information as
well, this publication should remain with the vehicle if it is sold.

information about your new vehicle. It is supplemented by a
Warranty Information Booklet that provides important
information on all warranties regarding your vehicle. We urge
you to read these publications carefully and follow the
recommendations to help assure enjoyable and safe operation of
your new vehicle.
